Hello. Although You have submitted a text, You have not submitted any questions about it, which prevents me from giving you any answers. However, I will tell you what this text means and I hope it will help you.
This text is an excerpt from "True West" written by Sam Shepard, where we read about the dispute between two brothers. Those brothers are Lee and Austin and they're competing over who can write the best Western theater play.
